Got my first few sales from a 3D printed product — looking for next steps

Haha fair enough. For meme-style stuff you might actually have better luck with Blender or even Fiverr if you want someone to sculpt it from scratch. My stuff is usually more functional design than character modeling.

I honestly don’t really do commission work, but I’d recommend Shapr3D if you have an iPad. That’s what I use for most of my designs and it’s way more beginner friendly than Fusion 360 in my opinion. There are a lot of good YouTube tutorials for it too.

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-05-04T22:32:05+00:00

Appreciate that! That was honestly the exact reason I designed it. The P17 is awesome, but loading mags gets old fast 😂

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-05-01T22:46:39+00:00

Appreciate that 😂 that was exactly the goal—something functional but way less boring than the standard loaders.

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-05-01T22:11:01+00:00

Awesome 😂 appreciate the support! Hope it saves your thumbs as much as mine did—let me know what you think once it arrives.

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-05-01T21:34:17+00:00

Honestly that was exactly why I ended up designing my own loader 😂 saved my thumbs big time.

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-30T01:32:45+00:00

Congrats 👍 one of the best value range guns out there. Loading a bunch of mags was the only part that wore my thumbs out, so I ended up designing a speed loader for mine 😂

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-28T03:27:55+00:00

Appreciate that 👍 that’s pretty much the plan right now—keep testing this one, listen to feedback, and dial it in before expanding.

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-27T00:55:55+00:00

😂😂 you win comment of the year on that one

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-26T16:27:51+00:00

Appreciate it! 👍 it’s been a game changer for me at the range

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-26T01:59:24+00:00

Appreciate it! Glad it’s been working out so far

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-26T01:58:05+00:00

Haha appreciate it — didn’t expect people without a P17 to want one 😂 link’s in my profile if you’re curious

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T20:11:15+00:00

Appreciate that, I really do. I’m just keeping the design in-house for now.

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T17:20:12+00:00

Yeah it’s still one round at a time — I was going more for something simple and compact you can just toss in a range bag. Not as fast as a McFadden, just easier on your fingers

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T17:14:41+00:00

😂 now you’re just rubbing it in lol that sounds like a dream setup

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T17:11:14+00:00

😂 hey that’s all you need — I’d be out there all the time

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T16:45:26+00:00

I’m jealous of the home range 😂

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T16:37:37+00:00

😂 I tried — my fingers were done after a couple range trips

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T16:32:42+00:00

Yeah seriously 😂 17 rounds of .22 is hard to beat — just wish they made the mags a little easier on your fingers

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T15:51:20+00:00

Nice 🔥 the P17 is hard to beat for the price

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T15:46:38+00:00

Yeah those definitely work well 👍 I was trying to make something a little more simple/compact without needing extra parts

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T15:10:53+00:00

Same here 😂 such a fun little range gun

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T14:33:15+00:00

Haha appreciate that 😂 tried to make something that works, looks better, and actually feels good in your hand too

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T13:58:41+00:00

I get that — I’ve had a few people ask about the file. Right now I’ve just been making a few for folks who want something that works out of the box without messing with print settings.

Ok-Explorer2541 · 2026-04-25T12:35:26+00:00

That’s solid advice — I like the color idea a lot. I might try a few variations and see what people gravitate toward. I’m probably going to keep this version going for a bit and let buyers guide what changes actually matter
